This guy made a distributed operating system: https://github.com/urbit/urbit

Or at least, I think that's what's going on here, because he's all full of mysticism and goes on and on about traditions and instincts. Meanwhile I can't understand half a word of his sparsely documented source code. The language he made up seems to borrow all the worst parts of Befunge and APL, and even his C is kind of obfuscated. It's like trying to read a newspaper in Hmoob.

Am I just too intellectual to understand reality? Is my brain poisoned by the academic ivory tower's harmful theoretical concepts, /prog/? How can I ever unlearn the toxic ability to think?

For example, in the Soviet Union there was literally a law against "idleness", i.e. not working at any state-sanctioned job. There was also a law against "speculation" (ie. buying and reselling stuff, like merchants do) and forceful state distribution of young people after they finish education (so after you graduate institute, the state told you where your job would be, e.g. they could send you to some obscure Siberian village to make veterinary operations on cows).

If that is not total, oppressive capitalism, then I don't know what is.
